……

In front of He Guan, Guan Sheng's face was flushed red, extremely ashamed.Entering the hall of the county government office, he simply prostrated himself on the ground and said: "Master Benevolent, it is Guan Sheng's negligence that caused General Er Zhang to be captured, and I am willing to accept the crime."

In He Guan's eyes, there was anger and love towards Guan Sheng.The loss of Zhang Qing and Zhang Zhongxiong made him lose a lot.But Guan Sheng is highly skilled in martial arts and reborn like his ancestors, who doesn't love him?And today he has to rely heavily on Guan Sheng.Immediately, he helped Guan Sheng up with his own hands, and comforted him with words.He also gave a banquet and invited Hao Siwen and Tang Bin to enter.Yu Guansheng gave enough face.

After the feast, the five returned to their residences.Don't say that Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen have extremely good impressions of He Guan, even Tang Bin and the three of them can't say anything bad about He Guan.As a Taiwei, he treats everyone with such courtesy, what is the status of the latter?Or after their big defeat, no one can tell the truth.

But when Taiwei He looked back, how he truly viewed them was a different matter.

The Liangshan Army camp five miles away from Fan County.

Zhang Zhongxiong looked at Lu Qian with a strange look on his face, are his father and brother really still alive?Isn't the Lu thief trying to deceive him?He is well aware of the temperament of his father and brother.Besides, his father has caused a lot of trouble for Liang Shan. Can Liang Shanbo's gang of bandits really bear it and not kill them?

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you arrive at the cottage. What's the use of me bullying you in such matters?"

Lu Yi looked at the person in front of him with full confidence.Don't look at this guy who is begging for death, but in essence he is afraid of death.According to the official history, his father Zhang Shuye committed suicide and died, he was no longer a Jinren; his elder brother Zhang Bofen also died after the Jingkang bloody battle, so he did not reappear in the historical data.Only this Zhongxiong, who first served as an official of the Puppet Qi, and then served as an official of the Jin Dynasty, was a traitor through and through.

Therefore, Lu Qian is very sure.As long as he left him with the hope of life, and his father and brother were the leaders, Zhang Zhongxiong would honestly explain the layout of the Song Army inside and outside Fan County.

On Lu Qian's right hand, hung a bird's-eye view, which was a schematic diagram of the city of Fan County and the Song army camp in the south of the city.But no matter how high the tower stands, no matter how far you look, it's just a look, just a rough look.In the end, it is not clear from what the insider tells.

The Liangshan cannons in the camp are already being assembled. In another three to five days, Lu Qian will be able to pull up twenty Liangshan cannons.At the same time, the rear camp used water and mud to make thousands of mud bombs.This thing costs almost nothing and requires very little manpower. The bigger question is when will they be completely frozen in the cold winter.

Each of the mud bombs weighed one hundred and ten catties.How could the fragile city of Jiaofan County withstand being thrown far away by the Liangshan Cannon?As mentioned in the previous article, the cities at this time were not the brick cities of later generations. Even places such as Tokyo City and Damingfu were at most brick cities.A small county town like Fan County is still an earth city, a rammed earth city.It won't take long for such a small county to be defeated.

In the official history, the elite of the Lu family who had survived a hundred battles in the city of Xiangyang could not withstand the fierce bombardment of the counterweight trebuchet, let alone a group of Northern Song soldiers in Xiaofan County?
nature.With such a sharp weapon, many of the new protective measures in the Song Army camp would have no effect at all.

Under the mud bombs, everything, be it fences or earthen walls, was reduced to powder.

There were not many outsiders in the big tent, only Lu Qian and Zhang Zhongxiong were involved, and Wu Song and two personal guards were there.Zhang Zhongxiong glanced at the bird's-eye view hanging on Lu Qian's right hand, his cheeks twitched, and he nodded heavily.His life was saved, his father and brother did not die, and Zhang Zhongxiong himself had no reason to ask for death immediately.

Toss it with a peach and return it with a plum.Since Liang Shanbo is so interesting, it is only right for him to help them a little bit.

It's been a while since Zhang Shuye was caught by that.After Zhang Zhongxiong left Jeju, except for asking his wife and children to serve his old mother and return home, he always waited in Dongchang Mansion.It was not only to verify Zhang Shuye's exact news, but also to wait for Tokyo's response.

Yes, Zhang Shuye had already been dismissed from his official position before his bad luck, but this did not mean that the imperial court ignored Zhang Shuye.It's like the retired veteran cadres of later generations, when they really go to see Taizu, the government department will also organize a memorial service.

The old Zhao family was really nice to Wenchen.Even civil servants who have been knocked to the ground will be given preferential treatment after they die of illness.Just like Su Shi, because of his personal political problems, he was not given preferential treatment in Huizong's first dynasty, but when Zhao Gou came to power, Song Huizong's small team had been wiped out, and Su Shi was posthumously awarded the title of Taishi, posthumously titled "Wenzhong".

This uncle Ye is also a person who has entered the sequence of senior officials in the court.Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong both have official positions as fathers, and their idle positions are not counted.In the Song Dynasty, the system of dispatching was implemented, and the princes had long been false titles. Although they were official officials, they did not accept the duties of the company unless they received edicts.But now the Zhang family is different from the past.Unless someone was obstructing the court, it is impossible that there has been no hint so far.

In other words, Zhang Zhongxiong already harbored resentment in his heart.

Lu Qian looked at Zhang Zhongxiong who was drawing on the bird's-eye view with a pen, and looked at the gradually enriched bird's-eye view, and smiled silently.This piece of Zhongxiong was the breakthrough point for him to drag Zhang Shuye into the water.Not seeing just these few words, the crimson red on the pillar of air above this guy's head has faded a lot.

Of course, Wu Song looked at Zhang Zhongxiong with cold eyes.This is not because Wu Erlang looks down on Zhang Zhongxiong, thinking that this person is unkind, nor is he already aware of the resentment in Zhang Zhongxiong's heart, but because Zhang Zhongxiong is extraordinary in martial arts.

In this big tent right now, without him, where would Lu Qian and the others be together? They might not be Zhang Zhongxiong's opponent.He has to beware of Zhang Zhongxiong violently hurting people.

Guo Sheng and Lu Fang were guarding outside the tent. The two stood in front of the tent, but they listened to the movement inside from time to time.The two were captured, Zhang Qing, who had no feathers and arrows, was very tough, and was thrown into prison by Lu Qian, only Zhong Xiong was met by Lu Qian.Neither of them knew what happened inside, but they looked at Zhang Zhongxiong differently in their hearts.

At this time, the Manichaeists were talking more about Guan Sheng's martial arts.They also couldn't help but think of Shi Bao, the two of them, one south and one north, had the same sword, but they collided together, but they were good opponents.

Naturally, not everyone is thinking about martial arts.For example, Pang Wanchun and Gao Yu, these two people are very interested in the trebuchets that are being assembled in the rear of the Liangshan Army.

The former is a general of the Manichaeism, he is very good at shooting, so he is very concerned about long-range weapons.The latter is a rare scribe in the Manichaeism, and Gao Yu's military strength is not important to the Manichaeism.Fang La needs his brain more.

The trebuchet was caught by Gao Yu at a glance.

In the south of the Yangtze River, there may not be many strong cities and fortifications, but there are many wide moats.

Whether it's Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Kuaiji, etc., isn't there a wide moat outside the prefecture city?
According to normal reasoning, such places will inevitably be a major obstacle for the Manichaeism army to sweep the south of the Yangtze River.Apart from letting people sneak into the city first, and then join forces from inside and outside to seize the city when the army from outside the city arrives, Gao Yu can't think of any other way to fight and attack the city with ants all the way.

So the former is okay, but it is difficult again and again.Such means are available, but not for long, and court officials are not all idiots.The latter suffered huge casualties.Whenever Gao Yu imagined that when the army attacked Suzhou and Hangzhou in this way, the last thing left in his eyes was blood and corpses overwhelming.

Therefore, such a method of making stone cannons is urgently needed by Manichaeism.

The only thing he was still uncertain about was that the so-called Liangshan Cannon was a new type of stone cannon, and the firing method was unheard of.Gao Yu didn't want to speak easily until he saw the actual effect with his own eyes.

For the next few days, Lu Qian called Lin Chong, Wang Yin, Lu Zhishen and others to invite them to fight in the city every day.

When dealing with the generals Guan Sheng and Hua Rong, they would rush forward whenever they could not stop the fierce battle.Even if the Song army at the head of the city yells and scolds every day, bullying the few with more, he is not a good man.Liang Shanbo just pretended not to hear it.

He Guan was also happy because Liang Shanbo bullied the smaller ones time and time again. Although he won the situation, it also aroused the common hatred of the Song troops inside and outside the city.In recent days, he has felt that the morale of the soldiers has improved a lot.

Until this day has just come to light.

"Hey..., yo..."

"Hey..., yo..."

A fast-paced and sonorous chant resounded outside Fanxian City. Towering stone cannons and heavy shield carts were pushed out of the gate of the Liangshan Army Village amidst the loud and tidy chant.

Half an hour later, twenty tall Liangshan cannons appeared on the battlefield for the first time in their lives.Right in front of them is a group of larger, taller and heavier shield vehicles.The tall wooden shields, only thicker than the fences of the camp, the wooden shields tied vertically and horizontally with logs, only covered most of the Liangshan cannon behind them.The twenty Liangshan Paofan County Dongcheng and Chengnan Songying were divided into ten each, neatly lined up in front of the Song Army.Along with them were [-] elite infantry wearing heavy armor and holding bows, crossbows, swords and spears.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da..."

Thousands of cavalry also rushed out from behind the Liangshan army camp.Thousands of horses are galloping, like a dark cloud wrapped in billowing thunder, quickly moving from the horizon to the front of the formation.

Taking the location of twenty stone cannons, which were very strange in the eyes of the senior generals of the Song Army, as the base point, four thousand horsemen and cavalry were parked in Liangshan, lined up on the left and right, and were ready.The swords and guns shine together, shining brightly.Song Jun was stunned to look up and down.

"This..., this stone cannon can't hit this far, can it?" Tang Bin looked at the mighty array put up by Liang Shanbo's soldiers, and his admiration for Lu Qian did not weaken in his heart, but instead he admired him even more.Is this still a nest of grass bandits and water bandits?Look at their armament, look at their uniforms, look at their momentum, standing with the officers and soldiers, they look more like the officers and soldiers than the officers and soldiers.

But are the landing points of those stone cannons too far away?
Guan Sheng and Hua Rong didn't speak at all.Cui Ye whispered: "Brother, right now we are afraid that the stone cannon on the opposite side can really hit so far."

Liang Shanbo can become today's momentum, Lu Qian and others are mortals?They won't be so foolish.In other words, most of the stone cannons outside the city can hit the top of the city.

He Guan also came to a conclusion early, and ordered the bed crossbow to shoot at the Liangshan cannon.But it was probably stopped by the shield car.The shield chariot was covered with a layer of raw cowhide, and it was also poured with mud and water. The fire crossbow shot from the top of the city did not have much effect.

"Taiwei." Liu Zhen's heart beat faster for a while, and the towering stone cannons were like black clouds pressing on the top of people's heads. Every time they looked at them, they could make people feel palpitations and dullness.

Endless haze condenses in the air.A depressive atmosphere filled the entire city.

He wanted to listen to He Guan's instructions, but he was so deadlocked that the Liangshan army under the city was getting ready little by little.It is better to choose an elite soldier first, choose a strong general to lead, and burn those utensils.

"I have never seen such a stone cannon in half my life as a soldier. Let's see how it can shoot so far."

Ordinary stone cannons only have a range of one hundred and fifty paces, and super-heavy trebuchets such as nine-stem cannons and thirteen-stem cannons can only shoot at two hundred paces. Two or three hundred steps to go.Right now, Liang Bandit's stone cannons were placed 250 steps away.Even the stepping arrows shot by the bed crossbow were exhausted after flying so far.

Moreover, the stone cannons of the Liang bandits are huge, but not many people operate them.Then there are only three or forty people in each shot, just like a small shot.He Guan didn't believe how powerful the shells could be fired from such a stone cannon.If you don't believe that the shells fired from the opposite side can destroy the city, it will cause so much trouble for the Song army.That is to say, there may be troubles in the camp in the south of the city, but not in Fan County.

The Liangshan bandits used this method more to create fear and confusion.So that they can take advantage of it.Raising his right hand slightly, He Guan stopped Liu Zhen's words and looked forward indifferently.

He ignored all the terrified soldiers standing on the top of the city.

It is also good to be beaten and beaten.The real elite soldiers can only be honed on the battlefield, and the rigorous training on the school field will not be able to train a real elite soldier. They can only be called a piece of jade in the rough.What's more, He Guan also knows how lax the current training of the imperial guards in the capital is.

It's better to win the battle once and for all.Even though he would be punished a little, he could still wake up the court. There are 80 forbidden troops, millions of soldiers and local warriors, and the capital's forbidden troops should be the elite among the millions of troops. However, such an elite force cannot even defeat a group of bandits. What's the use of having so many soldiers?
To know.Since Tong Guan's envoy to Daliao, he brought back a returnee from the north.He was born in a wealthy family in the Liao Kingdom and once served as the Guanglu Qing of the Liao Kingdom. This man is Ma Zhi, and he has now changed his name to Zhao Liangsi.

Tong Guan envoy Liao, and Ma Zhi proposed the strategy of "joining Jin to destroy Liao and recover Yanyun", which made Tong Guan very happy and changed his name to Li Liangsi.Because His Majesty Shenzong left a will: the king who regains Yanyun.Tong Guan's ambitions are very big in this generation. Not only does he want to make unworldly achievements, but he also wants to "be famous in history".Being a king as an eunuch controlled the government in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the great eunuchs who regarded the emperor as everything could not do it.

It has been more than four years since Ma Zhi returned to the Song Dynasty, and he has changed in real time, and he has adopted the strategy he proposed: "The Jurchens hate the Liao people and cut their bones. If they move their envoys from Deng and Lai to cross the sea, they can make good friends with the Jurchens, make an agreement to attack the Liao Dynasty, and rejuvenate the country." It's a good idea." Now Huizong was also very happy and gave him the surname Zhao, served as Zhilong Tuge, and added Youwen Palace to edit and compile it.

Folks say that Zhilong Tuge is a false dragon, the servant of Longtu Pavilion is Xiaolong, the direct scholar is Dalong, and the bachelor is Laolong.Not long after Ma Zhi returned to the Song Dynasty, he became a middle-level official in the court with ease.If you are willing to be an official, you can be the governor of the state capital.

When the strategy of joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain Yanyun was first spread among the upper echelons of the court, it was denounced by countless people as nonsense and absurd remarks.However, with the defeat of the main force of the Liao army at the beginning of the year, this strategy became more and more popular.Even Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others who were reluctant to go to the Northern Expedition at the beginning have now changed their attitudes.However, He Guan would not be like this.

Daliao is a big country in the world, even if it suffers a big defeat, it will not be easily destroyed.He Guan worked in the frontier in his early years and knew the bravery of the Liao people.Even if Da Song shamelessly came to take advantage of the fire, he must have a good figure.Otherwise, it will be set on fire!
It's just that Zhao Liangsi's strategy is constantly being discussed in the court, and the strategy of uniting the Jin Dynasty and destroying the Liao Dynasty is more and more recognized. Even if the emperor approves it, it's not something that Du Yuhou, a guard and infantry commander, can stop.

Now that I am at a disadvantage, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have been forced into embarrassment by a swarm of grass bandits. When the news is sent back to Tokyo, I don't know if the emperor will be alerted, and the important officials in the court will be alerted.

Of course, although Taiwei He is dedicated to serving the country and is sincere, he can never be selfless and give up small gains for righteousness.

He couldn't bear to use his fame and fortune to 'wake up' the court, He Guan only wanted a 'small defeat'.And even such a thought came from him recently.In the early days, Taiwei He was determined to wipe out Liangshanbo and wipe out the water bandits.

People change.Will change as events develop.

He Guan saw that his thoughts of defeating Liang Shanbo were getting increasingly slimmer before he had such thoughts.In this way, you can not only 'alert' the court, but also find a good cover for yourself.

Who told this person to look down on Ma Zhi like that?

A traitor who fled from the Liao region to the Song Dynasty, a legendary and mysterious figure, and one of the very few senior staff members who can play a decisive role in Tong Guan's huge staff group.

Don't look at the recent rise in Zhao Liangsi's reputation, he was hailed as a man of benevolence, and almost became a representative of not forgetting the Han family and remembering the old master.The reputation is well-known in the word-of-mouth of many ruling and opposition scholar-bureaucrats.

But in He Guan's eyes, this is just a despicable villain who only sees prosperity and wealth.

Ma Zhizu was a high-ranking Liao official for generations, and he was a family of Han bureaucrats who were ruled by the Khitan and thanked the Khitan for helping the Khitan rule the Han people in the north.Perhaps they can be regarded as the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty.For the rulers, they are slaves; for the majority of the ruled, they are masters.

Ma Zhi grew up in such a family, and He Guan sneered at what he said about not forgetting the Han family and remembering the old master.

In Taiwei He's mind, there are many philosophical key points of later generations, such as the objective environment of society determines the level of people's thinking, or the butt determines the head.But he knows very well what it is: those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black.

In his opinion, saying not to forget the Han family and remembering the old master is just a gimmick released by Ma Zhi to elevate himself.Anyone who wants to sell himself to others—whether his ancestors sold himself to the Khitan nobles, or he himself sold himself back to the Song Dynasty, in addition to having a little ability to serve the new master, he also needs a good-looking Exterior.

Just like many traitors in the later generations, when they served their Western masters, they also had to put on a bright shell like a well-known/democratic fighter, right?
When human society began to have transactions, advertising was invented at the same time.Zhao Liangsi's label is his advertisement.

He Guan treated Ma Zhi like this.Who told this guy to lose power when he clings to Tongguan.Under such circumstances, no matter how good Ma Zhi's singing is, he is just a villain who repeatedly drives interests.
